The Ravens and Commanders squared off for their first of two joint practices Tuesday and the rivals didn’t hold back any intensity or physical play.

There were scuffles in the later portions of practice, and deep balls galore from star quarterback Lamar Jackson.

“That’s the bottom line; we got a lot of work done,” Harbaugh said. “Joint practices are a challenge, always, obviously, because you’ve got two teams out here, and there is a lot of pride. I thought it was a really good practice. We had a couple dust-ups, which you don’t want to see, but it’s not really unexpected. I thought they got handled pretty quickly.”

With Day 2 of practice set to begin shortly, here are takeaways and observations from Day 1.

Ravens officially sign WR Odell Beckham Jr.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. officially signed his contract to become a member of the Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens made a big addition to their team on Sunday evening, signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to a one-year deal. Baltimore is getting an explosive playmaker who is ready prove doubters wrong after missing all of 2022 with a torn ACL.

The Ravens and Beckham made their signing official on Thursday, with the wide receiver putting pen to paper with his son Zydn in his arms. the signing official.   His deal is worth up to $18 million dollars, with $15 million in guarantees.

Having a player like Beckham on the team is exciting for many, and it will be interesting to see what kind of offense the team can actually have with him in the fold. With Beckham combined with hopefully quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back J.K. Dobbins, tight end Mark Andrews and more, the Ravens have plenty to work with on the offensive side of the ball.

Ravens’ top offensive performers in 2022, per Pro Football Focus

These 10 Ravens led the way for Baltimore’s offense in 2022 according to Pro Football Focus

The Baltimore Ravens’ 2022 season is officially over, but that doesn’t mean that they will stop trying to improve as they seek to contend for a Super Bowl in 2023. The team’s offense was on a torrid pace before the bye week, but losing Lamar Jackson to injury in Week 13 began a downward trend of poor offensive play.

Baltimore had to see multiple different players step up over the course of the 2022 season on offense, especially due to some of the injuries that the team suffered. Nobody knows what next season will hold for the Ravens, but these 10 players were their top performers on offense in 2022 according to Pro Football Focus.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins expresses major frustration at lack of red zone usage

Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins expressed major frustration about his role in the red zone

The Baltimore Ravens suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals on Wild Card Weekend, losing by the score of 24-17. In the loss there were plenty of questionable decisions by Baltimore’s coaching staff, including play calling, time management and player usage.

After the game concluded, running back J.K. Dobbins expressed major frustration at his role, particularly in the red zone. Dobbins explained that he wanted the ball towards the goal line, especially on the play where Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley lost a fumble on a quarterback sneak from the one-yard line, resulting in a likely 14-point swing.

Dobbins ended the game with 13 carries for 59 yards, which comes out to a 4.8 yards per carry average. He also caught a touchdown in the contest, but has only eclipsed 15 carries once in his NFL career despite having an impressive resumé and plenty of early success at the professional level.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley gives update on status ahead of Wild Card Weekend vs. Bengals

Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley gave an update on his status ahead of Wild Card Weekend

The Baltimore Ravens travel to Cincinnati to kickoff what they hope to be a long playoff run against the Bengals. No quarterback has been named so far, but if healthy Tyler Huntley could be the guy to get the start behind center, especially with fellow signal caller Lamar Jackson being ruled out for the contest.

Huntley missed Week 18 in Cincinnati with a shoulder issue, but has been able to practice the last couple of days. The former Utah star was asked how he was doing after Friday’s practice and seemed upbeat, saying that he’s feeling better and continuing to progress, putting his health percentage at over 90%.

“I’m doing good; I’m feeling better. [I] continue to progress, and I’m getting ready for this weekend.”

“It’s up there; it’s a good percentage. I think we’re pushing like 90-99 [percent], around there. We’re pushing; we’re up there. We practiced today, and we’re just seeing how we’re going to feel coming into these next couple days.”

No matter who gets the start for Baltimore, the offensive game plan should be a run heavy. Huntley and Anthony Brown are the two candidates to lead the offense, and whoever it is must limit turnovers and make a few big plays if the Ravens want to secure a win.

Ravens announce uniform combination for Wild Card matchup vs. Bengals

The Ravens announced their uniform combination for their Wild Card matchup with the Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens head back to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals for the second-straight week. While Baltimore lost 27-16 in Week 18, this time the stakes are much higher, as they play on Wild Card Weekend with a trip to the divisional round on the line.

The Ravens announced their playoff uniform combinations for this Sunday night’s game against the Bengals, going with the white tops with black pants.  All-time, they are 35-53 with his combination according to Ravens Uniform Tracker.

If the Ravens hope to make it 36-53, they need a strong game from the running game and less turnovers from whichever quarterback starts for them in the contest. Inside linebacker Roquan Smith and the defense has shown that they can at least somewhat contain the high-powered Bengals offense, so it will all come down to the offense and if they can control the clock by running the ball with a rested J.K. Dobbins and a hopefully healthy Gus Edwards.

The Baltimore Ravens faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18. While the team sat out a lot of important players on the offense and defense, they might have lost one more to injury in the first half of the contest in a star offensive player.

Baltimore announced that running back Gus Edwards was being evaluated for a possible head injury. Edwards’s game started out strong with a first down on the first offensive play of the game. If the injury is significant, it might lead to him missing next week’s playoff game.

The shorthanded Ravens could be even more short-handed if Edwards has to miss time. In his absence, running backs Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill should get more opportunities.

Update: Edwards has been ruled out for the remainder of the game
